The Woodstock Police Service Auxiliary Unit is made up of dedicated community volunteers who work alongside police officers to enhance public safety and community well-being.

These volunteers play a vital role in strengthening the connection between the police and the public through active participation in community events, safety initiatives, and patrol support.

Each year, our Auxiliary members contribute thousands of volunteer hours — assisting with events, supporting operations, and promoting positive community engagement.

Their commitment reflects the values of service, teamwork, and civic pride that define the Woodstock Police Service.

Responsibilities

Members of the Auxiliary Unit assist with a variety of community and operational initiatives, including:

  • Supporting major community events such as parades, festivals, and charity walks/runs
  • Participating in Police Week activities and public safety displays
  • Assisting with crime prevention programs and community outreach initiatives
  • Taking part in searches for missing persons and emergency response support
  • Staffing information booths and representing WPS at local events
  • Conducting neighbourhood and park patrols with uniformed officers

If you are passionate about giving back to your community and supporting local policing, consider joining our Auxiliary Unit. Members receive training, uniforms, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in Woodstock.
